TODAY’S THOUGHT
“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words
are often used synonymously.
A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates
more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we
would have others think of us.”
— From “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen (17751817)

Explosion injures 3
Fire marshal’s
office seeks
cause of incident
BY TOM BARNETT
tbarnett@civitasmedia.com
The Ohio Fire Marshal’s office and Sidney fire department
personnel are investigating the
cause of Friday night’s explosion and fire that severely damaged the Stolle Avenue plant of
Protecpac USA (IVEX Protective Packaging), injuring three
workers.
No loss estimate to the facility and its contents was available Sunday as investigation of
the incident continued.
Residents in the area reported hearing a loud noise and
feeling their homes shake as
the blast occurred.
Sidney fire and rescue personnel were dispatched to the
business at 456 S. Stolle Ave. at
10:52 p.m. Friday.
On arrival, they found two
sides of the southeast end of the
building had been blown out
and that three workers who
had been inside the plant at the
time of the blast had been injured.
Firefighters entered the
building, which was still burning, and a box alarm was dispatched to recall all off-duty
personnel.
The Anna fire department
was dispatched for mutual aid
at the blast scene and to
standby at local fire stations. A
total of 22 Sidney and eight
Anna firefighters responded
during the operation. No firefighters were injured.
Two workers were transported to Wilson Memorial
Hospital by Sidney paramedics

Kimpel responds to AG’s lawsuit
BY KATHY LEESE
Attorneys for former Shelby County
Sheriff Dean Kimpel deny that he has
been “unjustly enriched” by receiving a
salary while suspended from office and
have filed a response to a lawsuit against
Kimpel by the Shelby County Commissioners. He claims the county has no
right to recoup his salary and makes a
counterclaim and demands a jury trial.
Michael Rumer and Andrea Brown of
Rumer and Maisch Co., LLC, Lima, filed
the response on behalf of Kimpel. Kimpel is being sued on behalf of the County
Commissioners by the Ohio Attorney

General’s (AG) Office, which is seeking
to recoup the salary that Kimpel was
paid while he was suspended from office
during a criminal case and subsequent
felony conviction.
Kimpel’s attorneys argue that the
county has no right to recoup Kimpel’s
salary under the Ohio Revised Code, although they admit he accepted a suspension with pay in Auglaize County
Common Pleas Court in Wapakoneta following his indictment there on a sexual
battery charge.
They say the indictment in that case
was pending until June 8, 2012 when the

case was dismissed as part of a plea bargain agreement. While the attorneys
admit Kimpel entered a guilty plea to a
charge of unauthorized use of a computer, cable or telecommunications property in Shelby County, they deny “that
this is a felony that forms the requisite
basis for which (the county) is seeking
recoupment …and further states that
the sentencing did not occur until June
8, 2012 at which time (Kimpel) tendered
his resignation from office as Sheriff.”
Kimpel admits in the claim that he
was paid $45,659.75 between Oct. 6,

insurance policy.
In January 2012, murder charges against
Trapp were dismissed
with prejudice, allowing
for them to possibly be
re-filed in the future. The
lawsuit makes several
claims and is filed on the
basis of the following:
â&#x20AC;˘ Deprivation of Civil
Rights under the Fourth,
Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of
the U.S. Constitution
â&#x20AC;˘ False arrest
â&#x20AC;˘ Malicious prosecution
â&#x20AC;˘ Negligence/Reckless/Wanton/Willfull Disability pursuant to the
Ohio Revised Code
â&#x20AC;˘ Intentional Misconduct, Negligence, Medical Malpractice/Medical
Claims (Deliberate Indifference to Serious Medical Conditions).
â&#x20AC;˘ Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and Conspiracy.
Trappâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
attorney,
Dwight Brannon of
Brannon and Associates
Inc. of Dayton, noted in
the lawsuit that Trapp
first discussed the case
with his office on Jan. 7
of this year and the file
from Trappâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public defender,
now
Shelby
County Prosecutor Tim
Sell, was provided on
Jan. 10.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;So a complete investigation and review has
not been even close to
complete. This complaint
is filed in order to preserve the Statute of Limitations.â&#x20AC;? It was noted
that Trapp â&#x20AC;&#x153;appears to
be subject to disability.â&#x20AC;?
The lawsuit asks for
compensatory damages

than $25,000, punitive

of the injured were not

Deputy Fire Chief Ron
Wolfe said the workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
injuries were not considered serious.
Wolfe said the company uses isobutane to
expand plastic in manufacturing a foam product
used in packaging.
DP&L.,Vectren Energy
Delivery and the Sidney
water department were
able to secure all utility
services to the building.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was an explosion in the processing side
oft the plant, said Assistant Fire Chief Cameron
Haller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sprinkler system kept the fire
in check and we extinguished it with a hand
line when we arrived, he
saidâ&#x20AC;?
Haller also said the
sprinkler system and
safety procedures established by the business
kept the building from
burning to the ground.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;When something like
this happens, I mean
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really unprepared
for it,â&#x20AC;? said Terry Stotler,
plant supervisor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
kinda like a house fire. I
mean you get caught by
surprise and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing
everything you can to
make sure everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
safe.â&#x20AC;?
Stotler said he is not
sure where the plant will
go, since there are a lot of
elements to consider. The
company, owned by IVEX
Protective Packaging Inc.,
is headquartered in Lachine, Canada.
IVEX operates two
plants in Sidney, with a
total of 45 employees.
Records show Sidney
firefighters have previously responded to two
fire alarms from the location in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in March
and July â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and two fires
were reported there in
March of 2010.

tion, including reasonable attorney fees. The
suit also seeks to have
the defendants pay
Trappâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical bills.
Among may other
claims, the lawsuit alleges that Trapp was inc a r c e r a t e d
â&#x20AC;&#x153;unnecessarilyâ&#x20AC;? for â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost a yearâ&#x20AC;? on an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unconstitutional(ly) high
bond of $1,000,000.â&#x20AC;?
The lawsuit claims
that both Kimpel and
Bauer used prosecution
of the case to promote
their campaigns for reelection and that the
AGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and cold case
detectives were â&#x20AC;&#x153;attempting to maintain
and request funding for
their cold case program
by this prosecution as
well as others upon information and belief.â&#x20AC;?
The suit also claims
that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;delay in investigation, prosecution, incarceration, indictment
and then dismissal without prejudice one year
laterâ&#x20AC;? were a violation of
Trappâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil rights and
Constitutional rights.
Shelby County Prosecutor Tim Sell, who represents the county and
local officials in their official capacities, was the
public defender at the
time of Trappâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indictment and subsequent incarceration.
When
contacted Friday, he said
that because he represented Trapp previously,
there would be a conflict
of interest with his involvement in the case
now.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be talking to
the (Shelby County)
Commissioners about
this lawsuit and what
their options are with regard to counsel,â&#x20AC;? he said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give
them legal advice about
the merits of the case.â&#x20AC;?

‘Tweet
seats’
are here
PROVIDENCE, R.I.
(AP) — You don’t have to
turn your smartphone
off at the Providence
Performing Arts Center
— at least not if you’re
sitting in the “tweet
seats.”
The theater is now
setting aside a small
number of seats for
those who promise to
live-tweet the performance. Twitter users
might offer impressions
of the set, music or costumes, or lines from the
show that resonate with
them.
At a recent staging of
the musical “Million Dollar Baby,” even a few
cast members were
tweeting from backstage.
A growing number of
theaters, including some
on Broadway, have been
experimenting in recent
years with tweet seats
and other real-time uses
of social media. Some insist theaters should remain
free
of
smartphones, but others
say theaters can’t afford
not to engage the digital
generation.

Shelby County will play host
during the 30th annual Ohio
Mock Trial District Competition,
with two Sidney teams, one
Lehman team and three Bellefontaine teams going head-tohead in the courtrooms of
downtown Sidney Friday.
The teams will take over the
Juvenile Court, Common Pleas
Court and Municipal Court
courtrooms, with two trials set
for each during the day.
Throughout the state, about
3,500 high school students from
more than 180 schools in 31
counties will be competing Friday, making this year’s district
competition the largest since
2006. The mock trial competition
is sponsored by the Ohio Center
for Law-Related Education. It is
Ohio’s largest high school academic competition.

Two of the three Sidney High
School teams that competed in
last year’s district level won their
respective competitions and
moved on to the regional competitions.
Each year, the Center writes
an original case based on a current constitutional issue that is
designed to educate students
about their rights as well as help
them develop critical thinking,
reading, writing, public speaking
and listening skills. Students
take on the roles of witnesses and
attorneys, while local legal professionals throughout the state
volunteer their time to serve as
judges, competition coordinators
and team advisers.
Each team consists of five to
11 students who are required to
prepare both prosecution and defense cases and participate in
two trials against different
teams.
This year’s case will have the

students analyze a person’s right
under the Fifth Amendment regarding improper confessions.
Dakota Allen, a ficticious high
school sophomore, is suspected of
setting a school fire that resulted
in a maintenance worker’s death.
While investigating, the police
engage in a lengthy interrogation
that includes trips to the scene of
the crime and the victim’s home.
Allen makes a statement claiming responsibility for the fire and
is charged with murder and
arson. She later recants her confession, alleging the statements
were coerced by the police.
District winners will advance
to the regional competition Feb.
22. The state competition will be
March 7-9 in Columbus, and the
championship round will be held
at the Ohio Statehouse. The winning team will represent Ohio at
the National High School Mock
Trial Championship in Indianapolis, Ind., in July.

Winter Storm
Safety Tips
BEFORE A WINTER STORM:
Have a disaster plan and prepare a
disaster supplies kit for your home and
car. Include a first aid kit, emergency
food supply, bottled water, batteryoperated radio, flashlight, protective
clothing and blankets. Don't forget, be
aware of changing weather.
DURING A WINTER STORM: Stay
indoors and dress warmly. Eat regularly, because food provides the body with
energy for producing its own heat.
Also, drink lots of water. If you must go
outside, wear layered clothing, mittens
and a hat. Watch for signs of hypothermia and frostbite. Remember to keep
dry. Always change wet clothing to prevent the loss of body heat. If you must
drive, carry a cell phone. Always, keep
the gas tank full. Don't forget, let someone know where you’re going, just in
case your car gets stuck. If you’re car
gets stuck, stay with it and wait for help
unless help is visible within 100 yards.
Use maps and car mats to stay warm.
AFTER A WINTER STORM: Avoid
driving until conditions have improved.
Avoid overexertion! Heart attacks from
shoveling snow are the leading cause
of deaths during the winter. Also, check
on neighbors to make sure they're OK.

NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

How do winter storms form?
Winter storms derive their energy
from the clash of two air masses of
different temperatures and moisture
levels. Winter storms usually form
when an air mass of cold, dry,
Canadian air moves south and interacts with a warm, moist air mass
moving north from the Gulf of Mexico.
The point where these two air masses meet is called a front. If cold air
advances and pushes away the
warm air, it forms a cold front. When
warm air advances, it rides up over
the denser, cold air mass to form a
warm front. If neither air mass
advances, it forms a stationary front.
How is snow formed?
Snow is commonly formed when
water vapor undergoes deposition,
which is when water vapor changes
directly to ice without first becoming a
liquid, high in the atmosphere at a
temperature of less than 32°F and
then falls to the ground.
How do blizzards form?
A blizzard is a long-lasting snowstorm with very strong winds and
intense snowfall. You need three
things to have a blizzard: cold air at
the surface, lots of moisture and lift.
Warm air must rise over cold air.
What are snowflakes?
Snowflakes are made of ice crystals. Each snowflake is six-sided and

made of as many as 200 ice crystals.
Snowflakes form in clouds where the
temperature is below freezing. The
ice crystals form around tiny bits of
dirt that has been carried up into the
atmosphere by the wind. As the snow
crystals grow, they become heavier
and fall toward the ground.

Why is snow white?
Bright snow blinds us with its
gleaming white color because it
reflects beams of white light. Instead
of absorbing light, snow's complex
structure prevents the light from shining through its lattice formation. A
beam of white sunlight entering a
snow bank is so quickly scattered by
a zillion ice crystals and air pockets
that most of the light comes bouncing
right back out of the snow bank. What
little sunlight is absorbed by snow is
absorbed equally over the wavelengths of visible light, thus giving
snow its white appearance. So while
many natural objects get their blue,
red and yellow colors from absorbing
light, snow is stuck with its white
color because it reflects light.

created
as
President
Woodrow Wilson signed a
bill merging the Life-Saving Service and Revenue
Cutter Service.
• In 1916, Louis D.
Brandeis was nominated
by President Woodrow Wilson to the Supreme Court;
Brandeis
became
the
court’s first Jewish member.

flew out of Iran with the
help of Canadian diplomats.
• In 1982, Italian antiterrorism forces rescued
U.S. Brigadier General
James L. Dozier, 42 days
after he had been kidnapped by the Red
Brigades.
• In 1986, the space
shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after
liftoff
from
Cape
Canaveral, killing all seven
crew members, including
schoolteacher
Christa
McAuliffe.
• In 1988, a 13-day
standoff in Marion, Utah,
between police and a polygamist clan ended in gunfire
that killed a state corrections officer and seriously
wounded the group’s leader,
Addam Swapp.
Ten years ago: President
George W. Bush, girding
the nation for war, said in
his State of the Union address that Saddam Hussein
had shown “utter contempt” for the world community and had to be held
to account; Bush also
pledged to help the ailing
economy with lower taxes
and a stronger health care
system.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Dad forgets
son in car
COLONIE, N.Y. (AP) —
Authorities say a New York
man who left his 1-year-old
son in his car for eight
hours in frigid weather only
realized his mistake after a
call from his wife.
Police in the Albany suburb of Colonie say the man
forgot to drop off his son at
day care and left the child
strapped in the back seat of
the car when he parked outside his office Thursday
morning.
Officials say the man received a call from his wife at
about 4 p.m. inquiring
about their child. He called
for an ambulance and the
boy was checked out at a
hospital and released. Police say the baby didn’t suffer any injuries despite
temperatures that didn’t
top 15 degrees.
Police said Friday they
haven't determined if the
father would be charged.

Fire claims 230 lives
BY MARCO SIBAJA
The Associated Press
SANTA MARIA, Brazil (AP)
— A fast-moving fire roared
through a crowded nightclub in
southern Brazil early Sunday,
within seconds filling the space
with flames and a thick, toxic
smoke that killed more than
230 panicked partygoers who
gasped for breath and fought in
a stampede to escape.
It appeared to be the world’s
deadliest nightclub fire in more
than a decade.
Firefighters responding to
the blaze at first had trouble
getting inside the Kiss nightclub because bodies partially
blocked the club’s entryway.
Witnesses said a flare or
firework lit by band members
started the blaze in Santa
Maria, a university city of
about 260,000 people. Officials
at a news conference said the
cause was still under investigation — though police inspector Sandro Meinerz told the
Agencia Estado news agency
the band was to blame for a pyrotechnics show and that
manslaughter charges could be
filed.
Television images showed
black smoke billowing out of
the Kiss nightclub as shirtless
young men who had attended
a university party joined firefighters using axes and sledgehammers to pound at windows
and hot-pink exterior walls to
free those trapped inside.

‘No budget, no pay’ advances
WASHINGTON (AP) — In an earlier
era, a move like the one engineered by
House GOP leaders to pass a “no budget,
no pay” measure probably would have
been stopped in its tracks.
But with Congress’ approval ratings in
the gutter, House lawmakers pushed
aside questions about fairness and constitutionality and tacked the idea on to
an unpopular, must-pass measure to increase the government’s borrowing cap.
The measure temporarily would withhold pay from any member of the House
or Senate whose chamber doesn’t pass a
budget this year. The Senate is expected
to approve it in the coming week, but
only after leaders make clear they think
“no budget, no pay” is rife with flaws and
is not going to be repeated.
The proposal is before the Senate because the House breezed past objections
that the idea is unconstitutional because
it could “vary” the pay of lawmakers in violation of the 27th Amendment to the

Constitution. The House ignored concerns that the measure is unfair to members who are in the minority and are
powerless to determine whether a budget
passes or not.
Nearly unmentioned was the prospect
that withholding lawmakers’ pay favors
wealthy members over those of more
modest means and could, in theory, attract more affluent candidates better
able to withstand having some of their
$174,000 salary withheld.
“The last thing we want to do is to say
to people running for Congress, ‘If you’re
not a millionaire, don’t run because
there’s no guarantee you’ll be paid,’” said
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.
For these reasons and more, the
idea went nowhere in the last congressional session. But it was embraced
about a week ago by House GOP leaders such as Speaker John Boehner of
Ohio as they struggled to avoid a potential market-crippling default on

New health care
markets on the way
WASHINGTON (AP) — Buying your own health insurance
will never be the same.
This fall, new insurance markets called exchanges will
open in each state, marking the long-awaited and much-debated debut of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
The goal is quality coverage for millions of uninsured people in the United States. What the reality will look like is anybody’s guess — from bureaucracy, confusion and indifference
to seamless service and satisfied customers.
Exchanges will offer individuals and their families a choice
of private health plans resembling what workers at major
companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their premiums, while low-income
people will be referred to safety-net programs they might
qualify for.
Most people will go online to pick a plan when open enrollment starts Oct. 1. Counselors will be available at call centers
and in local communities, too. Some areas will get a storefront
operation or kiosks at the mall. Translation to Spanish and
other languages spoken by immigrants will be provided.
When you pick a plan, you’ll no longer have to worry about
getting turned down or charged more because of a medical
problem. If you’re a woman, you can’t be charged a higher premium because of gender. Middle-aged people and those nearing retirement will get a price break: They can’t be charged
more than three times what younger customers pay, compared
with six times or seven times today.
If all this sounds too good to be true, remember that nothing in life is free and change isn’t easy.
Starting Jan. 1, 2014, when coverage takes effect in the exchanges, virtually everyone in the country will be required by
law to have health insurance or face fines. The mandate is
meant to get everybody paying into the insurance pool.
Obama’s law is called the Affordable Care Act, but some
people in the new markets might experience sticker shock
over their premiums. Smokers will face a financial penalty.
Younger, well-to-do people who haven’t seen the need for
health insurance may not be eligible for income-based assistance with their premiums.

government obligations.
The proposal is a slap at the Democratic-controlled Senate, which hasn’t
passed a budget since 2009. Republicans
advanced the measure as a one-year experiment rather than a permanent law.
The logic behind “no budget, no pay”
goes like this: Passing a budget is the
core responsibility of Congress, so why
should lawmakers get paid if they don’t
do their main job?
“The hardworking people that I represent wouldn’t be paid if they didn’t show
up and they didn’t do their job,” said Rep.
Michael Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. “And this
place should operate no differently.”
For Republicans, much of the appeal of
the measure was that it was a rare opportunity to cram something down the
Senate’s throat. Two years of polarizing
battles over issues big and small have left
little good will between the GOP-run
House and the Democratic-controlled
Senate.

State of emergency declared
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s president declared a state of emergency and curfew in three Suez
Canal provinces hit hardest by
a weekend wave of unrest that
left more than 50 dead, using
tactics of the ousted regime to
get a grip on discontent over his
Islamist policies and the slow
pace of change.
Angry and almost screaming, Mohammed Morsi vowed
in a televised address on Sunday night that he would not
hesitate to take even more action to stem the latest eruption
of violence across much of the
country. But at the same time,
he sought to reassure Egyp-

tians that his latest moves
would not plunge the country
back into authoritarianism.
“There is no going back on
freedom, democracy and the supremacy of the law,” he said.
The worst violence this
weekend was in the Mediterranean coastal city of Port Said,
where seven people were killed
on Sunday, pushing the toll for
two days of clashes to at least
44. The unrest was sparked on
Saturday by a court conviction
and death sentence for 21 defendants involved in a mass
soccer riot in the city’s main
stadium on Feb. 1, 2012 that
left 74 dead.

Holocaust items put on display
JERUSALEM (AP) —
When Stella Knobel’s family
fled World War II Poland in
1939, the only thing the 7year-old girl could take with
her was her teddy bear. For
the next six years, the stuffed
animal never left her side as
the family wandered through
the Soviet Union, to Iran and
finally the Holy Land.
“He was like family. He was
all I had. He knew all my secrets,” the 80-year-old said
with a smile. “I saved him all
these years. But I worried
what would happen to him
when I died.”
So when she heard about a
project launched by Yad
Vashem, Israel’s national
Holocaust memorial and museum, to collect artifacts from

aging survivors, she reluctantly handed over her
beloved bear Misiu, Polish for
“teddy bear,” so the memories
of the era could be preserved.
“We’ve been through a lot
together, so it was hard to let
him go,” said Knobel, who was
widowed 12 years ago and has
no children. “But here he has
found a haven.”
On Sunday, Knobel’s tattered teddy bear was on display at Yad Vashem, one of
more than 71,000 items collected nationwide over the
past two years. With a missing eye, his stuffing bursting
out and a red ribbon around
his neck, Misiu was seated behind a glass window as part of
the memorial’s “Gathering the
Fragments” exhibit.

NOT-SO-INSTANT REMOVAL
Dear Heloise: Can you
please tell me how to remove instant glue from
my countertops? — Lana
E., Klondike, Texas
A big factor is the type
of countertops. If they are
marble, granite or a specialty type, you should
contact the manufacturer
for its recommendation.
Do not use nail-polish re-

If you have laminate
countertops, here is a hint
to try: Place a hot, wet
cloth (like a washcloth) on
the glue spots. Leave the
cloth on a spot until it
cools, then replace it with
another hot, wet cloth. Repeat this process until the
glue has softened and you
can peel it off. If this
method doesn’t work, they
do make special products
for instant-glue removal.
Just be careful when
using, as they can dull the

(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Relations with partners and close friends
definitely are strained
today. That's why you feel
world-weary and discouraged. Don't worry -- this
passes quickly.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Avoid authority figures and bosses at work
today; it's best to keep a
low profile. Don't ask for
favors. Don't ask for anything.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Children seem to be
an extra responsibility or
a burden today. (These
things happen; it goes
with the territory.) Romance also might be in
the toilet. It's a tough day.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Postpone family discussions, especially those

with parents, for another
day. Whatever plans you
have will meet with obstacles. (This is almost a
certainty.)
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You're caught between
wanting self-gratification
and feeling strong responsibilities for others.
This can be paralyzing.
It's best to do nothing.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You feel broke today.
It's like you're skating on
thin ice when it comes to
cash flow and finances.
Try to keep a holding pattern.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Physically and psychologically, your energies
are low today. It's just
what it is. If you look
around you, you will see
that a lot of people feel
this way. This is a passing
dark cloud on your horizon.
PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Something hidden or
someone working behind
the scenes will block your
best interests today. Your
situation will improve
quickly if you do nothing
at the moment but keep
the faith. Sometimes it's
best to just wait.
YOU BORN TODAY
You are an astute judge
of character; you understand what makes people
tick. You like to be organized, because you want to
feel that you're on top of
your game. You're an excellent
communicator
and can be very persuasive. You generally take
the moral high ground
and defend the underdog.
Your year ahead is the
beginning of an exciting
new cycle. Open any
door!

Springfield, Mass.
NAMELESS: Beans
are a type of legume and
edible seed. According to
the Mayo Clinic Health
Letter, beans are high in
protein and a good source
of folate, potassium, iron,
phosphorus and magnesium.
The
nutritional
makeup of beans may
help prevent chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. Beans are famous for their high fiber
content; a diet high in
fiber promotes digestive
health and can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Do yourself a favor and
try a few. Beans are not
fattening if you don’t add
butter or sugar to this
wonderful vegetable.

‘Big Game’ calorie costs in exercise
NEW YORK, N.Y. —
The “Big Game” has become much more than a
football game: It’s the
second biggest day for
food consumption in the
United States after
Thanksgiving.
So, to choose the most
splurgeworthy
foods,
here are the exercise
equivalents for some of
your favorite football
snacks from Charles
Platkin, PhD, MPH, public health advocate, editor of DietDetective.com
and distinguished lecturer at the City University of New York School
of Public Health at
Hunter College.
The idea is to use exercise equivalents to provide a reference for
calories.
• Handful of pita
chips, each with artichoke dip = Running 141
football fields.
Each chip is 13 calories, plus just 1 tablespoon, probably just
about a chips worth, of
dip is 80 calories.
Diet Pro: Make your
own 100 percent wholewheat pita chips, and
use salsa instead of the
artichoke dip.
There are many different kinds of salsa.
They’re good, and they’re
only 15 calories per tablespoon.
•
Four
Dominos
stuffed cheesy bacon and
jalapeno breadsticks =
193 touchdown dances in
the end zone.
While the stuffed
cheese bread is probably
very tasty, with all that
fat it’s also a calorie
killer at 160 calories per
piece, or 640 calories for
four.
Diet Pro: You can
toast 100 percent wholewheat pita bread with
butter spray and Parmesan cheese.
• Two slices of Dominos bacon cheeseburger
feast hand-tossed speciality pizza (16 inches)
= 209 minutes performing
in
a

marching band.
Pizza AND a cheeseburger what will they
think of next? Each slice
is 490 calories, but it is
hand tossed.
Diet Pro: Try thincrust pizza, and if you
really want to be super
healthy, how about getting pizza without the
cheese just add your own
Parmesan.
• Half of a White Castle Crave case with
cheese = Face painting
111 wild fans.
These are sliders with
cheese. Each slider is
170 calories. That’s 2,550
calories for 15, but
they’re not very large,
and there are 30 in a
case.
Diet Pro: How about
having just one or two?
Make your own burgers
white meat turkey burgers if you really want to
be super healthy, or at
the very least very lean
ground meat.
• Three Sierra Nevada Bigfoot beers = 211
minutes of coaching football.
There are some highcalorie beers out there,
and this is one of the
highest.
Diet Pro: Unless you
love Sierra Nevada and
realize the calories, your
best bet is a regular beer
or, even better, one of
those micro-light beers.
The best would be
Beck’s Premier Light at
only 64 calories per 12ounce bottle or MGD
Light, also 64 calories.
Michelob Ultra and Natural Light have 95, or
you can go very low with
Budweiser Select for 55.
Sample a few light
beers before the game to
see which ones you prefer.
• One sloppy Joe = 59
minutes of climbing the
stadium stairs.
This is a Tex-Mex creation that includes fatty
ground
beef, sugar,
ketchup and even flour.
Sloppy Joes have more
than 500 calories with

the bun (about 150 calories).
Diet Pro: Use lean
ground beef and try a
low-calorie sauce (without sugar). It will still
taste great. Also, add
veggies (onions, peppers,
broccoli all chopped up)
to the meat to lower
overall calories and increase health benefits.
• Six traditional
hand-spun Buffalo Wild
Wings dipped in ranch
dressing = Doing “the
wave” 6,480 times.
Stand up, wave your
hand and be counted
6,480 times.
Six wings from Buffalo Wild Wings have
990 calories. Then add
about two servings of
ranch dressing at 170
calories each for a total
of 340 calories. That’s
1,330 calories if you have
only a small dip of dressing per wing.
Diet Pro: You can certainly make your own
chicken wings. Go skinless and bake instead of
deep frying them.
• Two handfuls of
Cheetos jumbo puffs =
30 minutes of playing
professional football.
The only problem is
that, according to The
Wall Street Journal,
there are only about 11
minutes of actual ball
playing in a football
game.
That means you need
to play almost three
games of professional
football to burn off two
handfuls of Cheetos.
Keep in mind, that’s 320
calories for about 2
ounces yes, only 2
ounces.
Diet Pro: How about
making your own popcorn? Sprinkle it with
Parmesan cheese and
spray it with butter
spray.
• One handful of trail
mix = 49 touchdown
dances in the end zone.
Keep in mind, nuts
and chocolate have
about 160 calories per
ounce, which is not bad if

you don’t take five handfuls before you’ve even
noticed.
Diet Pro: Try having
only nuts. Nuts are
healthy, but they’re very
high in calories, so don’t
keep a huge bowl in
front of you. And try to
eat them one at a time
meaning don’t shove an
entire handful into your
mouth all at once.
• Bubba Gump jambalaya = 375 minutes of
preparing, cooking, serving and cleaning up after
the Super Bowl party.
That’s more than six
hours of cooking, preparing and cleaning. Yes,
Bubba Gump is a chain,
and the jambalaya has
1,100 calories. Jambalaya is typically made
with chicken, shrimp
and andouille sausage
sauté with peppers,
onions, rice and spicy
sauce.
Diet Pro: Make a
healthy jambalaya with
boneless chicken breast
and brown rice. Thats
the way to go.
• Outback baby back
ribs, full order = 123
minutes of team practice
and conditioning.
Ribs are fatty, and the
sauce is sugary. For the
record, Outback Baby
Back ribs are 1,156 calories.
Diet Pro: Try making
them yourself, and trim
all visible fat before and
after cooking. Also, instead of coating your ribs
with
an
excessive
amount of sauce beforehand, partially cook
them loaded with seasonings, brush them
lightly with the sauce,
and then finish cooking.
•
Four
baconwrapped smokies = 156
minutes being the team
mascot.
Little
sausages
wrapped in bacon popping just four of those in
your mouth will cost you
156 minutes of jumping
around and acting a bit
foolish (the good news is

Aging America:

Elder abuse, use of shelters rising
BY DAN SEWELL
The Associated Press
MASON (AP) — She
raises her hands to her
snow-white hair in a gesture of frustrated bewilderment, then slowly
lowers them to cover
eyes filling with tears.
The woman, in her 70s,
is trying to explain how
she wound up in a shelter that could well be
where she spends the
rest of her life.
While the woman was
living with a close family
member, officials at the
Shalom Center say, her
was
being
money
drained away by people
overcharging for her grocery shopping, while her
body and spirit were
sapped by physical neglect and emotional torment. She says she was
usually ordered to “go to
bed,” where she lay in a
dark room, upset, unable
to sleep.
“She just yelled at me
all the time. Screamed at
me, cussed me out,” the
woman says of a family
member. “I don’t know
what happened. She just
got tired of me, I guess.”
The Shalom Center
offers shelter, along with
medical, psychological
and legal help, to elderly
abuse victims in this
northern Cincinnati suburb. It is among a handful in the country that
provide sanctuary from
such treatment, a problem experts say is grow-

ing along with the age of
the nation’s population.
The number of Americans 65 and over is projected to nearly double
by 2030 because of the
74 million baby boomers
born in 1946-64, and the
number of people 85 and
over is increasing at an
even faster rate. The
number of seniors being
abused, exploited or neglected every year is often
estimated at about 2
million, judging by available statistics and surveys, but experts say the
number could be much
higher. Some research
indicates that 1 in 10
seniors have suffered
some form of abuse at
least once.
“That’s a big number,”
said Sharon MerrimanNai, project director of
the Clearinghouse on
Abuse and Neglect of the
Elderly, based at the
University of Delaware.
“It’s a huge issue, and it’s
just going to get bigger.”
Recognition of and
mechanisms for dealing
with elder abuse are
many years behind
strides that have been
made in child abuse
awareness and protection, experts say.
Getting comprehensive numbers of the
abused is complicated,
experts say, because the
vast majority of cases go
unreported out of embarrassment, fear of being
cut off from family —
most abuse is at the

hands of relatives — or
confusion about what
has happened.
Abuse
sometimes
comes to light only by
chance.
County-level
adult protective services
caseworkers can get
anonymous tips. In one
recent Ohio case, a hair
stylist noticed her elderly client was wincing
in pain and got her to acknowledge she had been
hit in the ribs by a relative. Another Shalom
Center patient was referred by sheriff’s detectives who said his son
beat him.
“Are these older people going to be allowed to
live their lives the way
they deserve to?” said
Carol Silver Elliott, CEO
of the Cedar Village retirement community, of
which the Shalom Center is a part. “We really
are not addressing it as
a society the way we
should.”
The Obama administration has said it has
increased its focus on
protecting
American
seniors by establishing a
national resource center
and a consumer protection office, among other
steps. But needs are
growing at a time when
government spending on
social services is being
cut on many levels or not
keeping up with demand.
In Ohio, slowly recovering from the recession,
have
been
budgets

slashed in such areas as
staffs that investigate
elderly abuse cases.
Staff at the Job and
Family Services agency
in Hamilton County in
Cincinnati is about half
the size it was in 2009,
spokesman Brian Gregg
said. Even as national
statistics indicate elder
abuse is increasing, the
number of elder abuse
cases the agency can
probe is lower, down
from 574 cases in 2009
to 477 last year, he said.
There are no longer
enough adult protective
services investigators to
routinely check on older
adults unless there is a
specific report of abuse
or neglect.
“We do the best we
can down here,” Gregg
said, noting that the
agency has a hotline to
take anonymous reports
and that it is seeing
more financial scams
targeting elderly people.
The price for not getting ahead of the problem and preventing
abuse of people who
would otherwise be
healthy and financially
stable will be high,
warned Joy Solomon, a
former Manhattan assistant prosecutor who
helped pioneer elder
abuse shelters with the
Weinberg Center for
Elder Abuse Prevention,
which opened in 2005 at
the Hebrew Home community in New York
City.

“My argument always
is, if all you do is come in
when the crisis has occurred, it is much more
costly than preventative
care,” said Solomon, director of the shelter,
which takes in about 15
people a year. “We’re
going to have to pay for
it anyway.”
She and others in the
field say the first steps
are to raise public
awareness and train police, lawyers, criminal
justice officials and others to recognize and respond to signs of abuse.
often
Prosecutors
have been reluctant to
purse elder abuse cases,
which can be complex
because of medical and
financial complications,
the witness’ ability to
testify or reluctance to
testify against relatives,
according to research for
the National Institute of
Justice.
In suburban Los Angeles, Orange County
started an Elder Abuse
Forensic Center nearly
10 years ago; it helps police, geriatrics specialists, lawyers and social
services workers coordinate efforts to identify,
investigate and prosecute abuse cases.
New York City started
its Elder Abuse Center
to 2009 to bring a multiorganization approach to
the problem, saying
nearly 100,000 older
people are abused in
their homes in the city

alone. While he was
Ohio’s attorney general,
Richard Cordray, now director of the federal Consumer
Financial
Protection Bureau, initiated in 2009 the state
Elder Abuse Commission, something current
Attorney General Mike
DeWine has continued.
The commission has
focused on training and
education and hopes to
launch a public awareness campaign this year,
said Ursel McElroy, the
longtime adult protection services investigator who leads it. The
commission also has
been pushing for legislation to improve legal protection
and
abuse
expand
prevention,
training, and improve
statistical data.
In New York, part of
the Weinberg Center’s
mission is to help other
communities replicate it.
It has assisted shelter
startups in upstate New
York,
Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Minnesota along with the
Shalom Center in Ohio.
The center marked its
anniversary in January.
While more than 40 people have been referred to
the nonprofit, faithbased center, only three
have gone through with
admittance, signs of the
reluctance of people who
fear losing family relationships — even if they
are bad — or the feeling
of being at home.

Female inmate overcrowding problem for jails
and fourth-degree felons to be incarcerated in county jails.
Robert Cornwell, executive director of the Buckeye State Sheriffs’ Association, said the change
was seen as a way to save the
state money and reduce its prison
population. It gave judges more
flexibility to put nonviolent felons
in local control settings such as
halfway houses or communitybased correction facilities, he
said.
“But that can put a burden on
local jails,” Cornwell said. “Many
of the jails that were constructed
in the last 20 years didn’t envision this increase in the female
inmate population.”
He said another factor contributing to overcrowding is that

more women are being arrested
on drug-related charges considered nonviolent offenses.
“They stay at the local jail
when they are arrested, and if
they are put on a local control
program and violate that, they go
back to jail,” he said. “It can be
like a revolving door.”
In the regional jail in Nelsonville, 185 of the 226 inmate
beds are designated for its member counties. Those include the
counties of Athens, Hocking, Morgan, Perry and Vinton. The remaining beds are used for
overflow.
There were only about 200 inmates at the regional jail as of
Jan. 23, but all of the beds for
women were filled.

There are 32 beds available for

Regional Jail in Nelsonville and

warden Jeremy Tolson told The

Tolson said the overcrowding
is “kind of a new trend,” occurring
statewide.
Various factors have contributed to the overcrowding, including a state legislative change
in 2011, according to some jail officials. That change enabled fifth-

AKRON (AP) — Court statistics show the number

Beacon Journal reported. But experts also see student
loan debt driving more people into bankruptcy courts.
University of Dayton professor Jeffrey Morris, a
member of the National Bankruptcy Conference, said
increased awareness of rough economic conditions
also may make people more cautious financially.
The roughly 50,600 personal and business bankruptcies in 2012 mark a drop of 14 percent from 2011,
when there were more than 58,800, according to data
from Ohio’s two U.S. Bankruptcy Court districts. It’s
the lowest total since 2006, when about 36,000 were
reported.
The Columbus region had the most, with more
than 11,000 bankruptcies. In northeast Ohio, the
three-county Akron area had a bit more than 4,100,
and the eight-county Canton region had about 3,500,
the newspaper said.
The data doesn’t differentiate between personal
and business filings, but increased difficulty in getting financing for new businesses also could contribute to fewer bankruptcies.
“If you can’t open a new business, you can’t get into
financial trouble,” said Marc Gertz, a lawyer in Akron
who has administered thousands of bankruptcy cases.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sidney City Schools helped prepare me for the challenges of college life and the
real world ahead. Inside the classroom at Sidney High School, teachers pushed me
and fellow students to perform at the next level, sparking the intellectual curiosity
it takes to succeed in college, while also mentoring us to be good citizens. Because
of their efforts, I had no trouble adjusting to university level work.
Outside of the classroom, coaches and advisors helped shape my values and
character. From them, I learned the value of hard work, dedication, and the spirit
of never giving up, all of which have helped me succeed in my career as an officer
in the US Army.
Sidney City Schools are big enough, with enough diversity, to expose students to
the variety of people, cultures, and opinions it takes to understand and succeed
in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, yet small enough to maintain a sense of family, community, and
cohesion. I credit my ability to thrive among different cultures during my time
in the Army to my experiences with a diverse student body within Sidney City

HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCES DRAKE
For Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
This can be a productive day at work,
especially if you’re introducing improvements and clearing away loose
ends regarding financial matters. Stay
focused.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Discussions about the care and education of children will go well today. This
is also a good day to make arrangements for sharing costs of vacations or
social events.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Don’t hesitate to act on plans to make
repairs or improvements to where you
live. Whatever you do will have a longlasting benefit in the future.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
This is a great day for any kind of
mental work, because your powers of
concentration are excellent. You have
the patience for painstaking detail.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Business and commerce are favored
today. You want to solidify your finances, if possible. If shopping, you
will buy practical, long-lasting items.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
It’s easy to become obsessed today. You
can’t get something out of your mind.
Fortunately, your approach will be
practical when it comes to making improvements.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
This is an excellent day for research.
You have the tenacity and focus to go
after what you seek. You’re like a dog
with a bone.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
All group discussions will be intense.
You don’t intend to back down, even if
someone (probably a female) raises
some opposition to you. Be careful that
you don’t increase this opposition by
insisting on getting your own way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
People will notice that you are passionate about everything today. You
might have ideas about building something or searching for answers to improve an existing structure.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
This is a good day to make travel plans
or future plans related to higher education, publishing and the media.
You’re very excited about an idea, but
you’re approaching it calmly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Although you feel intensely about
things today, you still will be fair and
logical when discussing inheritances
or shared property. (Just don’t let your
feelings get the better of you.)
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)
This is a good day to sit down with others (especially a partner) and discuss
long-range future plans. Travel, higher
education or ways to get the cooperation of others could be on the agenda.
YOU BORN TODAY You are reasonable and fun-loving. People like you
and trust you. Personally, you will defend your beliefs and take the high
road because you are an idealist.
You’re tolerant of many points of view,
but you enjoy being provocative. In the
year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will
end or diminish in order to make room
for something new.

ANSWER:
The electrical impulse can

travel back up the normal path and down the
fast path again, over and
over, causing an extremely rapid heart rate.
WPW usually is found
on a routine EKG. There
are cases where it can’t
be seen, in which case a
stress test is often diagnostic. But there are
more causes for fast
heartbeats. Your cardiologist has done both the
echo and the stress test.
If you keep having symptoms, you could wear a
device that records your
heartbeats continuously
for 24-48 hours, called a
Holter monitor, or an
event monitor for even
longer times. Speak to
your cardiologist if you
keep having symptoms.
WPW can be treated

with medication, but it
now is more frequently
being treated with radiocatheter ablation, where
the extra pathway is destroyed
with
radio
waves. Not everyone
with WPW needs treatment.

Emma’s behavior may
be the result of how you
have treated her, and if
YOU can change, so
may she. I’ll share with
you a letter I printed
several years ago from
another mother who
shared your problem:
“DEAR ABBY: The
best advice I ever received for coping with
my contrary daughter
was from a neighbor
who had a surly girl of
her own. She made a
conscientious effort to
be more demonstrative
to her daughter, hug
her more and hold on a
little tighter to show
her how valued she
was.
”I tried it with my
daughter, going out of
my way several times a
day to express my love
for her. It was awkward
at first, but I persevered. I committed myself to loving that

unlovable being, and
slowly but surely it
paid off. At first, she
would lean away, but
eventually she would
ask me to hold on ‘just
one more minute.’
“My daughter is 24
now and on her own.
Her life isn’t what I
would have hoped for or
expected, but that’s OK.
I’m her touchstone for
love and acceptance. I
can’t imagine my life
without her. — ANOTHER MOM IN CALIFORNIA”
Emma may be a difficult child, but she’s not
stupid. She sees the difference between how
you react to her halfsister and the way you
treat her. A first step
for you would be to
apologize to her, put
your arms around her
and tell her that from
now on you will try to
do better as a mother.
Emma didn’t ask to be
born, and you owe her
that.

A rear-end collision on
the Big Four railroad
near the Murphy pike
bridge east of the Miami
river between 1 and 2
o’clock this morning, resulted in a caboose and
several box cars being
badly damaged by fire.
The fire department was
called to the scene, but
being outside of the
range of a line of hose no
water was thrown. A
west-bound freight had
stopped to put water in
the engine. A second
freight, approaching from
the east, was unable to
stop in time and struck
the rear of the first train.
Fortunately the two
brakemen in the caboose
were able to leap to
safety.

Tigers get big win at Bremen
Jets also win
on the road
over Miami East
NEW BREMEN — The
Jackson Center Tigers overcame all kinds of adversity to
post a big road win Saturday
night, beating the New Bremen Cardinals 43-35 in nonleague boys basketball action
Saturday at Bremen.
The Tigers, now 14-2, are
back in action Tuesday at
home against Marion Local
before hosting the Anna Rockets in County play Friday.
Jackson had two players,
Gavin Wildermuth and Eric
Ryder, both foul out, and leading scorer Alex Meyer was
held to just two field goals the
entire game. But Wildermuth
did plenty of damage before
he departed, scoring 10 points
in the first half to lead the
Tigers to a 23-14 lead at the
break. New Bremen made
several runs in the second
half, but the Tigers never let
the Cardinals get closer than
three points.
“It was a very good win,”
said Jackson coach Scott
Elchert. “It was a war, and I
mean that in a good way.
Every possession was a battle
and it was one of those games
where every possession was
big.”
The Tigers were solid defensively all night, and
Elchert pointed to Levi Winner as being a key on that end
of the floor.
“Levi was kind of the unsung hero,” he said. “He
played (Bremen’s) Carson
Manger real tough in the second half after we had to do
some switching because of
foul trouble.”
Wildermuth finished with
12 points to lead the Tigers
and Meyer added 11, hitting
some big free throws down the
stretch.
Manger had 10 for the now
13-3 Cardinals, who were held
to 25 points below their scoring average for the season.
Bremen returns to action

Henry.

and play at Russia Friday
night in County play. Miami
East is now 10-5.
“This was a good win and
hopefully it will get us back on
track,” said head Fairlawn
coach Justin Tidwell.
The key to the game was
likely the unselfish play of senior Trey Everett and the longrange shooting of Brad Caudill.
The Vikings came out in a
3-2 zone that troubled the
Jets for a while, until Tidwell
put Everett in the middle.
When he got the ball, the
Vikings were all over him, but
he was able to dish out to the
open man.
The biggest beneficiary was
Caudill, who made the
Vikings pay dearly, and tied a

three-pointers. He finished
with a game-high 23 points,
and also had five rebounds.
“Miami East collapsed on
Trey when he got the ball in
the middle and he did a good
job of kicking it out,” said Tidwell. “And Brad had a big
night shooting the ball.”
Everett scored only two
points, well below his average,
but still finished just shy of a
double-double. He had 10 assists and pulled down nine rebounds.
Anthony Gillem added 14
points for the Jets.
The loss was the first ever
by a Miami East high scool
team in its two-year-old gymnasium. The volleyball, girls
basketball and boys basketball teams were all undefeated in the new gym until
Saturday night.

Yellow Jackets
lose at St. Marys
ST. MARYS — Sidney’s Yellow Jackets fell behind from
the start and couldn’t recover
in dropping a 64-44 verdict on
the road to St. Marys Saturday in non-league boys basketball action.
The Yellow Jackets drop to
2-15 with the setback and will
return to action Tuesday night
at home against Wapakoneta.
St. Marys is now 5-10.
“We weren’t shooting well,”
said Sidney coach Greg Snyder. “We were fighting to stay
close, but James Daniel and
Tyree Manley were both in
foul trouble.”
Snyder said a key point in
the game came late in the
first half. The score was tight,
but the Roughriders were able
to go on an 8-0 run to open up
a 32-21 bulge at the intermission.
“We made some mistakes
and they took advantage,”
said Snyder. “And they hit a
three at the buzzer to put us
in a tough position going in at
the half. In the second half, we
did some good things and got

Free throws
key Cavs’ win
Lehman was excellent at
the free throw line and that
was the key in the Cavaliers’
53-44 victory over Houston in
non-league boys basketball
action at Lehman Saturday
night.
See MINSTER/Page 16

(From page 15)
The Cavaliers, 8-7
after back-to-back Saturday night wins, dropped
in 26 of 32 free throw attempts, 81 percent, to
pull out the victory.
“It was a good win for
us,” said Lehman head
coach Isaiah Williams.
“We played well defensively, did a good job on
Phlipot. And we hit our
free throws.”
Lehman hit 18-for-21
from the line in the final
period alone.
Connor Richard led
the way for the Cavaliers
with 20 points, 11 of
those at the line in 13 attempts. Jackson Frantz
and Michael Jacob both
had nine points, Frantz
hitting 7-for-8 from the
line and Jacob 5-for-7.
For Houston, which
was also good from the
line on 16-for-24, Phlipot
had 12 and Jake Braun
finished with 10. Evan
Winner added nine and
was 7-for-8 from the line.
Lehman has its work
cut out Tuesday night at
home, taking on Versailles in a makeup
game. Houston is off
until Saturday when
Troy Christian comes to
the Wildcat gym, a night
after they host Lehman.

Raiders lose
to Versailles
VERSAILLES — Versailles took control after
a 16-16 opening period
and went on to whip the
visiting Russia Raiders
in a backyard rivalry, 8044 in high school boys
basketball action Saturday night.
The loss was Russia’s
fifth in a row and left the
Raiders at 5-13 on the
year with the next game
set for Friday at home
against Fairlawn.
Versailles is now 12-2
and is at Lehman Tuesday in a makeup game.
The Tigers rang up 11
three-pointers in the
game, four by Chad Winner and three by Kyle
Ahrens. Ahrens had 27
points and Winner finished with 19. Heitkamp
added 10 for the Tigers.
Nolan Francis had 12
to lead the Tigers.

Minster wins
in double OT
MINSTER — Minster
let a 12-point halftime
lead evaporate and was
forced into overtime, then
needed a 25-foot threepointer
from
Adam
Niemeyer to force a second overtime, before the
Wildcats were able to pull
away for a 73-67 thriller
in non-league boys basketball action against visiting
Wapakoneta
Saturday night.
The win puts the
Wildcats at 10-5 on the
season heading into a
challenging weekend,
with games against Fort
Recovery Friday and
Jackson Center Saturday, both in the friendy
confines.
“We’re up 12 at the
half but Wapak is a
pretty good team and I
knew they weren’t going
away,” said Minster
coach Mike Lee. “(Jake)
Buzzard really went off
on us in the third quarter. He had 14 of his
points in that quarter.
We really dodged some
bullets. We weren’t rebounding and we were
turning the ball over but
we still had a shot at the
end.”
Wapak hit its first
three shots in the first
overtime to put Minster
behind the 8-ball, but
the Wildcats were bailed
out when Niemeyer’s
long three-pointer found
its mark to knot the

then got the lead in the
second overtime and protected it with 7-for-9 free
throw shooting.
Minster had four
players in double figures.
Devon Poeppelman had
20, Niemeyer had 16,
Brandon Hoying 11 and
Ethan Wolf 10. Wolf also
pulled down eight rebounds.
Buzzard was outstanding for the Redskins, who are now 8-6.
He finished with 22
points, and his 14 rebounds led Wapak to a
39-20 edge on the
boards. Eight of his rebounds came at the offensive end. Teammate
Travis Bertram also had
a double-double, with 14
points and 11 rebounds.
Minster was 23-for-50
from the field for 46 percent and 22-for-29 from
the line for 76 percent.
Wapak was 23-for-63
from the field for 40 percent and 13-for-21 from
the line.

Recovery nips
Loramie 35-34
FORT LORAMIE –
Fort Recovery rallied
back from a three-point
deficit after three periods to edge the Fort Loramie
Redskins
in
non-league boys basketball action Saturday
night at Loramie, 35-34.
The Redskins, now 88 on the year, play at
Botkins on Friday.
Loramie built up an
18-13 lead at the half
and still led 28-25 after
three periods. But the
Redskins couldn’t hold
off the Iindians.
Grant
Olberding
scored 10 to lead Fort
Loramie and was 5-for-7
from the field.
Fort Loramie hit 15for-32 from the field for
46 percent, and Recovery
was 12-for-31 for 38 percent. Recovery was just
6-for-14 from the free
throw line, but that was
still a big advantage
over the Redskins, who
attempted just two free
throws the entire game.
Logan McGee dished
out four assists for Loramie.

Rangers rout
Fort Jennings
NEW KNOXVILLE
— New Knoxville hit 10
three-pointers and rolled
to a 72-48 victory over
Fort Jennings in nonleague boys basketball
action
Saturday
in
Auglaize County.
The Rangers, who are
back in action Friday at
home against Parkway,
had four players in double figures, led by Andrew Arnett with 17.
Shane Topp hit four
threes on his way to 16
points, Ryan Lageman
had 11 points and hit
three three-pointers, and
Jake Allen added 10
points.
The Rangers led 3926 at the half, then
outscored Jennings 2310 in the third quarter to
open up a commanding
62-36 lead.

SAN DIEGO (AP) —
The fog listed Sunday
and revealed a familiar
sight: Tiger Woods in
command at Torrey
Pines.
Despite finishing with
a bogey on the easiest
hole of the back nine,
Woods began to pull
away from the field with
a 3-under 69 in the third
round to build a fourshot lead in the Farmers
Insurance Open. Woods
has only lost twice on the
PGA Tour in 40 previous
times that he has held
the
outright
lead
through 54 holes.
Because fog wiped out
all of Saturday, players
were going as long as
daylight allowed before
returning Monday to
complete the tournament. Woods, who was at
14-under 202, was likely
to get in about six holes
before darkness, and he
didn’t bother switching
to a red shirt for the
start of the final round.
Brad Fritsch, a PGA
Tour
rookie
from
Canada, had a 70 and
was at 206. Erik Compton finished birdie-eagle
for a 71 and was alone in
third, five shots behind.
Asked about trying to
chase Woods, Compton
started laughing.
“I’m trying to chase
myself,” he said.
Woods has won seven
times at Torrey Pines as
a pro, including a U.S.
Open, and another win
Monday would give him
the most wins on any
course.
The tournament staff
followed the final group
along the back nine,
ready to change the
hole locations to get
ready for the final
round. Players had
about 30 minutes to get
something to eat and
hit a few balls before
going right back out.
Woods had superb
control of his tee shots
and was rarely out of position on a day that
began under a light drizzle and soon gave way to
patchy clouds and clear
views of the Pacific surf
below the bluffs.
Starting with a twoshot lead, he stretched
that quickly with a tapin birdie on the second
hole and a beautiful tee
shot to a left pin on the
downhill par 3 to about
4 feet. The South
Course played even
longer with the soft conditions, and only seven
players broke 70. Aaron
Baddeley had the lowest score of the round
with a 68.

Foul trouble hurts Anna
in 66-56 loss to Madison
MIDDLETOWN —
Even with leading scorer
Natalie Billing seeing
limited time on the floor
because of foul trouble,
the Anna Lady Rockets
still put themselves in
position to win a big
road game Saturday
against perennial power
Middletown Madison.
But Madison came up
with a couple of big backto-back three-pointers to
swing the momentum,
then hit free throws
down the stretch to defeat the Lady Rockets in
a non-league girls basketball game Saturday
in Middletown, 66-56.
The loss leaves Anna
at 14-4 on the year heading into another big
challenge Thursday at
Tipp City.
Billing, Anna’s top
scorer and rebounder,
picked up three fouls in
the first quarter and
went to the bench for the
remainder of the half.
She re-entered the game
in the third quarter but
picked up her fourth,
dispatching her to the
bench again.
“She got her second
foul in the first quarter
and I took a chance,” said
head coach Jack Billing.
“Madison is so big that
we needed her in there.
But it didn’t work out.”
When
the
game
ended, Natalie had
played only nine minutes or so.
But even with that,
Anna took now 16-2
Madison to the limit,
and Jack Billing pointed
to a key series early in
the final period. With
5:40 remaining in the
game, Anna had a threepoint lead and possession of the ball.
“We missed a layup
and they hit two threepointers in a row,” the
coach said. “So instead of
us going up by five, we
were down three, and
that really changed the
momentum. We had to
start fouling and they
hit their free throws.
“Madison played well
and hit some big shots
when they had to,” he
added. “We’re just not
getting any breaks.”
Anna has toughened
up its schedule substantially with games like this.
Others this season include Dayton Carroll and
Cincinnati Winton Woods,
and then there is Tipp
City on Thursday. And
they all have one thing in
common – all have been or
wil be on the road.
Cayla Bensman and
Erica Huber did their
best to make up for
Billing’s lack of floor
time, combining for 41
points. Bensman had 22
and Huber 19. Billing
was able to score 11
